Definitions
- the invention relates to a flow meter comprising:
- a housing comprised of an inlet section and an outlet section, as well as a widened section located in between and comprised of a guide portion connecting to the inlet section and a measuring portion connecting to the guide portion and the outlet section; helical guide blades located in the guide portion and connected to the housing;
- a measuring chamber located within the measuring portion, which chamber is bounded on an outside by the measuring portion of the housing, is bounded on the inlet side by the guide blades, is bounded on a running side located opposite to the inlet side by an outlet-section-end-face oriented to the measuring chamber, and is bounded on an inside by an end of the core;
- the flow meter is installed between two pipe elements and liquid or gas flows via the inlet into the section containing the helical blades, where the liquid is put in rotation and from there into the measuring chamber where a measuring ball is put in rotation and then discharged through the outlet.
- the rotational speed of the measuring ball is a measure for the flow rate of the fluid.
- the rotational speed of the measuring ball is preferably measured by means of a light ray which is caused to pass through the transparent housing and detected at an opposite spot.
- the number of detected interruptions of the light ray forms a measure for the flow rate.
- a flow meter of this type is known from WO 2008/044917 A.
- a disadvantage of this known flow meter is that an interior wall provided with openings is located between the core end bounding on the measuring chamber and the outlet- section-end-face oriented to the measuring chamber. This interior wall provides that the measuring ball remains in the measuring chamber and cannot leave the flow meter through the outlet section.
- the light ray is to be directed through the openings in the interior wall so as to avoid that the interior wall (either transparent or not) disturbs or blocks the light ray.
- This alignment is to be executed in an accurate manner in view of the small available space and cannot be executed or can be executed with great difficulty as a result of the rotational symmetry of the housing.
- the flow meter according to the invention is characterized in that between the core end bounding on the measuring chamber and the outlet-section-end-face oriented to the measuring chamber no wall portions are located, and the distance between the outside edge of the core end bounding on the measuring chamber and the inside edge of the outlet-section-end-face oriented to the measuring chamber is smaller than the diameter of the ball.
- the flow meter according to the invention there are no interior wall portions present within the housing at the location of the measuring chamber that are capable of disturbing a light ray. As a result, the light ray can enter at any desired spot along the periphery and thus does not need tuning.
- An embodiment of the flow meter according to the invention is characterized in that the guide blades are each provided with an inlet end bounding on the inlet section and an outlet end bounding on the measuring chamber, which outlet end is provided with a recess that has an arched bounding wall, where the maximum distance between the outlet-section- end-face oriented to the measuring chamber and this arched bounding wall is larger than the diameter of the measuring ball and the minimum distance between the outlet- section-end- face oriented to the measuring chamber and this arched bounding wall is smaller than the diameter of the measuring ball.
- a further embodiment of the flow meter according to the invention is characterized in that the flow meter comprises two parts in addition to the measuring ball, that is to say, a first part comprising the inlet section, the guide portion, the guide blades and the measuring portion, and a second part comprising the outlet section, where the outside edges of the guide blades are attached to the housing and the inside edges of the guide blades are attached to the core, and where the inside diameter of the guide blades is equal to the outside diameter of the core.
- Figure 1 shows a sectional view of an embodiment of the flow meter according to the invention
- Figure 2 shows a top plan view of the flow meter shown in Fig. 1;
- Figure 3 shows a bottom view of the flow meter shown in Fig. 1.
- Figs. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of the flow meter according to the invention in a sectional view, top plan view and bottom view respectively.
- the flow meter 1 comprises a housing 3 provided with an inlet section 3 A and an outlet section 3B, as well as a widened section located in between.
- This widened section comprises a guide portion 3B connecting to the inlet section, and a measuring portion 3C connecting to the guide portion and the outlet section.
- the guide portion accommodates eight helical guide blades 5 whose outside egdes 5A are attached to the housing. Within these guide blades is present a core 7 which is attached to the inside edges 5B of the lower parts of the guide blades.
- a measuring ball 13 is located in the measuring chamber.
- fluid flows through the inlet bounded by the inlet section 3A into the blade portion bounded by the guide portion 3B, in which blade portion the fluid is put in rotation by the helical blades 5.
- the fluid When leaving the blade portion the fluid directly flows into the measuring chamber 9 bounded by the measuring portion 3C in which measuring chamber the measuring ball 13 is put in rotation. Subsequently, the fluid flows outwards through the outlet bounded by the outlet section 3D.
- the rotational speed of the measuring ball is a measure for the flow rate of the fluid.
- Fig. 1 the flow of the fluid is indicated by means of arrows 15.
- the distance 17 between the outside edge 7B of the core end bounding on the measuring chamber and the inside edge 11B of the end face of the outlet section oriented to the measuring chamber is smaller than the diameter of the measuring ball 13.
- the guide blades 5 are provided with an inlet end bounding on the inlet and an outlet end bounding on the measuring chamber. This outlet end is provided with a recess that has an arched bounding wall 5C.
- the maximum distance 19 between the outlet-section-end- face 11 oriented to the measuring chamber and this arched bounding wall 5C is larger than the diameter D of the measuring ball 13 and the minimum distance 21 between the outlet- section-end-face 11 oriented to the measuring chamber and this arched bounding wall 5C is smaller than the diameter D of the measuring ball 13. In consequence, the fluid coming from the guide blades directly flows into the rotation path of the measuring ball.
- the flow meter 1 is comprised of two parts, that is to say a first part comprised of the inlet section 3 A, the guide portion 3B, the guide blades 5 and the core 7, and a second part comprised of the outlet section 3D.
- the inside diameter 23 of the guide blades is equal to the outside diameter 25 of the core, so that when injection molding is being executed the bottom die half (in the state of the flow meter shown in Fig. 1 ) for the first part of the flow meter comes loose as a result of distortion.
- the inlet section 3A and the outlet section 3D both have an equally wide cylindrical opening and are in line.
- the widened section (formed by the portions 3B and 3C) has a larger diameter than that of the inlet and outlet sections, where the transition from the inlet section to the widened section is not effected abruptly in one step, but gradually by means of a conical wall portion which includes the core 7 that has a conical wall 27 oriented to the inlet, which wall gradually guides the axially directed incoming fluid stream to the guide blades 5.
